Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
Liverpool Local Artists aims to deliver the LLA Programme, providing creative sessions to adults who experience mental health difficulties as a barrier to seeking employment. In the 6 months, 8 programmes will run parallel. Taking place in Birkenhead, Huyton, Toxteth, Walton, Bootle, Speke, Norris Green and Wavertree with the aim of reaching the most deprived areas in Merseyside as indicated by the Social Index of Deprivation. The LLA programme will use a blended approach (online and face to face) to give isolated participants access. This ensures the project is adherent to the government guidelines whilst also providing attentive and effective engagement. The project will be delivered in two 12 weeks slots with 4 community groups, working with a total of 8 community groups. Each group will have a weekly 90 minute workshop. The sessions would focus on skills development; artistic, social and soft skills. This will help create materials for the Theatre for Social Change performance.
